Armaf Shades · Chypre Aromatic · For Men · EDT
Bergamot, cardamom, and a chypre of rich character.
Bergamot, cardamom, lime, pineapple, plum and violet leaf open into cedar, geranium, jasmine, rosemary and sage over ambergris, cedar, patchouli, sandalwood and white musk — a richly layered chypre for men.
About This Fragrance
Armaf Shades is a chypre fragrance for men that begins with a burst of citrus freshness and herbs combined with effervescent and sparkling spices. The opening is one of the most complex in the Armaf range — bergamot, cardamom, lime, pineapple, plum, and violet leaf combining into a genuinely multi-dimensional, vibrant introduction.
Rich floral notes of cedar, geranium, jasmine, rosemary, and sage form the aromatic heart — a deeply herbaceous, aromatic combination of genuine sophistication. The base of ambergris, cedar, patchouli, sandalwood, and white musk creates a richly woody, animalic, lasting foundation. Shades is a serious chypre for the man who knows his fragrances.
